What is the impact of customized engines on aspects like translation quality and brand alignment? Join Smartling AI leaders as they discuss this question and more.As the global utilization of AI-powered translation continues to increase exponentially, there's a growing interest in ensuring that its outputs align with brand standards and are tailored to customer’s specific needs. One effective approach to achieving this is through the use of custom machine translation (MT) engines. By leveraging a company's linguistic assets, such as translation memory, style guides, do-not-translate lists and glossaries, these engines can be customized to optimize outputs for brand compliance and quality.However, the pivotal question remains: what is the actual impact of customized engines on aspects like translation quality and brand alignment? Are they truly worth the investment, and how can they be utilized most efficiently? Join Smartling AI leaders Olga Beregovaya and Alex Yanishevsky as they delve into these questions and more during this live discussion.This session will cover:What it takes to build a custom MT engineThe advantages (and potential drawbacks) of custom modelsHow to evaluate the return on investment of implementing a custom modelsThe best place to add custom models to your translation workflowSpeakers: Alex Yanishevsky (Senior Director, AI Solutions) and Olga Beregovaya (VP, AI & Machine Translation)

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has now surpassed 420 parts per million, underscoring an alarming milestone in the human-induced warming of our planet. Last year, Earth’s average temperature was 1.48 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial average. To effectively address the climate crisis and avert catastrophic consequences, merely reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not enough. The imperative extends beyond achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century; we must strive for a transition to net-negative emissions. This needs the integration of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies as a fundamental aspect of our climate mitigation efforts.To address this issue, widespread implementation of CDR technologies is required. Among the foremost CDR methodologies is Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). This technique involves capturing carbon dioxide during the conversion of biomass into heat, electricity, or fuels, subsequently sequestering it in geological formations. Notably, BECCS stands out as the only CDR approach that also provides renewable energy.The World Bioenergy Association, in partnership with Bioenergy International, is pleased to invite you to the webinar "Role of Bioenergy in Atmospheric CO2 Removal". The session will provide valuable insights into BECCS-related projects from around the world. It will also cover the latest changes in policies, regulations, finance, and technology within the industry. The goal is to enhance our understanding of this topic through the contributions of leading industry representatives and experts. The urgency and importance of developing and deploying such technologies are increasing, making this webinar an excellent opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest developments.

Presented by Mr Andrew Reilly.Pension Analyst, Social Policy Division, Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, OECDPension systems have had to continually evolve since they were introduced. Initially they were commonly available only to government workers or they were intended to provide income only for a very short period of time. As life expectancy has improved significantly over the last century pensions now need to cover over 20 years in retirement on average. Financial crises and global recessions have all had an impact in recent decades. Now, we are faced with continued population ageing, with Asian countries being particularly affected. Social protection schemes are facing a major challenge with population ageing – pension systems are being squeezed from two directions, as rising life expectancy typically means more aggregate expenditure on pensions, and lower fertility means fewer working-age people to pay contributions. It is also expected to increase spending in the health and the long-term care system and add to unpaid work obligations, threatening gender equality. While immigration can slow down the shrinkage of the working age population, migration at levels necessary to meaningfully counteract the trend might not be politically palpable. What can be done to ensure both adequate and sustainable pension systems globally and for Singapore specifically?
